Certified High-Performance Coaching is a form of personal development or growth that is super effective with just about anyone. It's focused on helping you become the best version of yourself and constantly find a new level of success in every area of life.

High Performance means developing the behaviours and mindsets that help you succeed beyond standard norms consistently over the long term while maintaining positive well-being and relationships.

High performance is not about working harder or for more hours. It's not only for those in business or for Olympic athletes...although it helps them in the same ways it helps a new mom, a college student, a CFO, a dancer, or an engineer. In other words, it's for anyone.

Certified High Performance Coaching is a science-backed, results-oriented, proven coaching curriculum that focuses on empowering questions, the development of supportive habits, the creation of a success-helpful mindset, and the use of specific outcome-based tools to help clients reach their next level of success in all areas of their lives. The program includes 12 core sessions and then progresses through another 24 sessions. (In late 2019 another 12 sessions will be added to the curriculum.)

Certified High Performance Coaching is nothing like “life coaching,” which is client-driven rather than outcome-driven. That’s one reason why clients report such high levels of satisfaction with Certified High Performance Coaching programs—they get results.

Yes. In fact, the High-Performance Institute—the same organization that certified me as a CHPC—sought proof of such satisfaction and teamed with a third-party company to track 37,603 CHPC sessions in 173 countries delivered by CHPCs. Here's what they discovered: The average client satisfaction rating for Certified High-Performance Coaching was 9.6 out of 10—the highest score ever recorded for any multi-month coaching program.

Yes. Brendon Burchard, the High Performance Institute researchers and graduates from the Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) program at the University of Pennsylvania developed a scale, called the High Performance Indicator (HPI), to measure the factors that matter most in predicting individual high performance as defined as long-term success. Based on research and proven performance improvement methods, the HPI is the world's first validated assessment on high performance created and backed by a high performance coach (Burchard) with over a decade in the field.

The HPI, the largest and most comprehensive high-performance study ever conducted, analyzed over 100 human performance variables in six key categories proven to relate to a person’s long-term success potential. The researchers found that: The HPI has proven to strongly correlate with external measures of success (sales performance, academic GPA performance, executive promotion odds, business unit financial success) AND important life outcomes like happiness, health, positive relationships, and confidence.

There's more to the science of Certified High Performance Coaching. A report was published on May 15 that offers much more information on the HPI. Remember, this assessment measures the habits that lead to long-term success across domains, and it's comprised of six subscales that separately measure clarity, energy, necessity, productivity, influence, and courage.

The two studies, with a total of 174,054 participants, showed that the HPI was predictive of several important life outcomes:

• happiness
• confidence
• education level
• perceived excellence
• life satisfaction
• quality of interpersonal relationships
• work quality
• career impact
• income
